ZULOAGA ART NETS $2,900. 


Receipts from the sale of the house- 
hold possessions of Mrs. Rita de Acosta 
Lydig today are $50,000 less than. she 
expected and $44,24057 under the 
debts of $94,351.57 that she had hoped 
to pay through this auction sale.at 
the Anderson Galleries. 

Everything was sold except “Little 
Willie’s’ mug. When it was reached | 
the auctioneer announced that the ob- | 
ject had been withdrawn from the sale 
for sentimental reasons. The an-| 
nouncement was cheered. It was el 
erally assumed that the date inscribed | 
on the mug, “October 17, 1896,” had} 
something to do with the infancy of 
W. E. D. Stokes Jr., the son of Mrs, 
Lydig. ) 

The auctioneer said that the mug | 
had been withdrawn from the sale in | 
deference to the wishes of Mrs. Lydig, | 
who is now in a sanitarium. She went | 
there a few days ago, when too ill to 
appear for examination, in connection | 
with her yoluntary petition, in bank- | 
ruptcy.
